Lossless Mission and Package Migration
Migrates OPS-1, early OPS-2, isolated component records, and current Operation Packages without silently discarding fields.
Interaction & Interfaces
Player Interaction and Social Stealth
Social stealth evaluates behavioral congruence, access, timing, environment, and explanation rather than invisibility or costume alone.

Embodied VR, desktop, mobile, and browser roles coordinate through complementary information and actions.

Mission Design
Debrief Product Contract
Defines the minimum human- and machine-readable output after success, partial success, conversion, abort, compromise, or failure.
Mission Design
Intelligence Requirement
Every mission begins with a question or decision need that collection and analysis are meant to support.
Mission Design
Mission Brief Contract
A mission brief is a reviewable contract connecting authority, requirement, roles, constraints, evidence thresholds, abort conditions, and extraction.
Mission Design
Mission Lifecycle
Operations progress through explicit lifecycle states from tasking to debrief, with observable transitions and recoverable failure states.
Mission Design
Roles and Information Asymmetry
Operative, handler, analyst, technical, liaison, and support roles receive different information and actions while contributing to one requirement.
Mission Design
Success, Abort, Extraction, and Debrief
Operations define success beyond completion, permit professional aborts, and require extraction and debrief as first-class gameplay.
Mission Design
Mission Event Logging
Requires durable UTC event records for consequential mission-state changes.
Mission Design
Compromise and Abort Handling
Defines compromise indicators, decision authority, abort states, conversion, extraction, and recovery.
Package Lifecycle
Offline Package Integrity Verification
Recalculate canonical component hashes, validate package manifests, explain mismatches, and preserve failed imports unchanged.
Package Lifecycle
Conflict-aware Operation Package Merge
Merge two packages without silent overwrite, preserve unknown extensions, and require explicit resolution for every content conflict.
Publication & Data
Browser-local Backup and Selective Restore
Export an indexed saved-work backup, detect duplicates, quarantine malformed records, and selectively restore exact record IDs and payloads.
